Approached by a MSP
-
The risk is complacency or getting tricked into thinking that staying might be okay.
-
2nd interview for the PM position is in the works of being scheduled.
My current boss and I have a great relationship so I did inform him that I've got some nibbles happening and will probably need to get some time off to see what happens. He totally understands and is also frustrated with how little communication there has been with the new people. I also fully trust him that he isn't going to spill the beans to them.
-
Good luck!

Am I the only one that thinks of "Touched By an Angel" when reading this post title?

lol. It's actually a decent show... There are better and worse, lol.

I would not have guessed.

I was just given an offer from this MSP for a Project Manager position. Not as much money as I want but more than what I'm making plus extra stuff to sweeten the deal. Benefits are a touch better but a bit more expensive.
I'm going to take the holidays to think about it but it seems like a pretty easy decision even though I feel bad jumping before the merger is complete.
-
Congrats. Yes, it sounds like a good company and a good position and better than the alternative and a good, overall, career move. Even if this job doesn't end up being ideal, it sets you up for a better future than just staying put.
-
Notice was given and they tried to get me to stay at least until the merger date and even tossed money at me. Rather than take the risk of loosing this job opportunity I decided to say no. They were understanding and admitted that they are just being greedy and had to try and keep me. So there it is. I start on Jan 18th as a PM for an MSP. Let the fun begin!
-
Awesome, congrats. Sounds like everyone knew that this was the right decision for you.
-
@lhatsynot congrats
-
Congrats!
It's funny they said they were being greedy? While that may be true, it really depends more on who told you that.
-
So... I was invited to the new jobs annual party tonight but I don't start working there until next Monday. I think it's pretty awesome to be invited before I even start... It's like they really like me!
-
Very cool! That is a good sign. Have fun getting to know anyone.
-
My current boss just told me to hold off on getting drunk and dancing on the tables... at least until my 90 day review is done. LOL!
-
@lhatsynot He is probably right on that one....
-
Yea... Knowing him it was probably a life lesson that he learned the hard way. Man, I'm going to miss my current boss.

Maybe the MSP wants to hire him, too.
